Taught by Augustine Colebrook, CPM, LM

Augustine is nationally recognized midwifery educator, experienced business executive, and veteran midwife with 18 years experience. Her life's mission is to mainstream midwifery and deconstruct the culture of fear and misinformation that surrounds the US maternity world. To that end, Augustine 'midwife's the midwife' through her many public education programs, consulting services for maternity practice & birth center administrators, and private coaching services for new midwives.

It is her profound honor to illuminate the sacred path to joyful and sustainable midwifery practice. She is writing a book for families and working on a film project, entitled, "what labor looks [and sounds] like". Additionally, Augustine leads adventure retreats for women hesitant about the unknown and ready to up-level their lives.
